Injured Brown Puppy

While I was sleeping this morning, my mom came back and woke me up telling me that she has brought back an injured puppy. Without delay, I got up and saw this poor baby laying on the floor and couldn't stand up. The first thing that came into my mind at that moment was, oh no, she might be in the same situation like Baby Alera. After taking some video of her and a few photos of the wounded area, I called my vet telling him I would be bringing an injured puppy over.

The vet was very busy and I had to wait, fortunately at that time the puppy was asleep in the carrier. After like half an hour or so, it was my turn. I am glad that the puppy turned out not that worst as Baby Alera, her left leg has fractured but she still able to walk according to the vet. He did some X-ray on her as you can see in the video. She just need lots of rest, attention and medication.

While I am writting this, she is awake and its almost 2am in the morning, I have to let her sit in slanting position so she will feel more comfy and not pain. She has lots of fleas! Tiny little fleas like cats have. Alera is not feeling comfy due to her appearence, I do hope he can get along with her soon as she will be staying for some time.

My Homeless Furry Friend

As usual, I will bring Bobo and Lulu down for a late night walk everyday. I saw my homeless friend that I brought her for spaying the other day were down stair waiting for me. Must be the small gate that was left opened and that's how she came in. I took the photo from the top floor where I am staying. Kinda sad and at the same time excited to see her, knowing that she is okay after the surgery, no bleeding or any kind of infection around the cut.

When I came down with my camera, she was awake and greeted me as usual, jump on me too. If you look at the third picture on the right, she is actually sleeping at the alley opposite my apartment gate. The photos were taken using my Nikon D70s with high ISO (1600) so they are kind of noisy and full with pixel artifacts. I did some adjustments on the noise and color correction too, they are pretty close to the actual lighting atmosphere.

Hopefully one day the lady who has shared the spaying fees willing to take her in as roaming on the street is really not a good thing. Fortunately the road in front my apartment is a dead end so there is not much traffic.



I haven't pick a name for her though, but I called her 'Ah Gal', in fact I called every female fur friend 'Ah Gal' :)

Alera Photos, One Accepted, One Rejected

The top photo has been accepted on iStockPhoto but not the second photo. But if you ask me, I love the bottom photo the most. It is always very challenging when capturing Alera with my NikonD70s as he will not sit still eventhough he is cripple. I think I have mananged to capture Alera moody expression and his eyes are very sparkling than the top one. Of cos I did some photo retouching but not too much, just some noise clean up and a little bit of sharpening. Main reason I get from the rejection was the lighting and shadows could somehow be improved. Oh well, this going to make me to take more and more photos of Alera :)
